Welcome to the World Islands, perhaps the most expensive piece of failed architecture in history.
Dubai is a land full of technology, innovation and - in the case of the World Islands - severe disappointment.
Not long ago, these islands were the talk of the town. Nothing quite like them had ever been constructed, so it’s no wonder that they wound up as the poster-child for nearly every tourism advertisement imaginable.
But after the city funneled a staggering $14 billion into their development, the iconic landmark sat forgotten and abandoned, slowly being overrun by Mother Nature.
So, what happened? Where’d it all go wrong? And is there any hope left for this Dubai icon? Let’s find out.

This is really depending on your investment curve. Just invest wisely!
Plan your investments with good portfolio expert and I can assure you that in a few months your account will be more than you dream
BTC truly is a class of its own, it has no competitors.
I can't believe it when i hear people selling their btc for doge lol, that why I trade with the best analysts since the last year which i attain maximum success through
please anyone who wants to sale he's or her BTC for DOGE I'm here LOL
That can't have any bad side effects on anything. I'm starting to see a trend that rich people are the problem in many things and blame the poor. Lol
@Dnjdjsjshs X7iwjejxi2 And some damn food 😂😅
It does obviously have bad side effects, the sand itself is not brought from the desert, instead it's marine sand. Collecting it fucks up coral reefs which are important. What a waste
Yea it can’t be harmful to dump thousands of pounds of sand on a coral reef 😂😱🥶
bruh, do research, common sense
i don't get it, why poor hate rich ? your comment is itself like blaming , only poor blame others , rich just think what to do next and dont care a shit about bottom dwellers cause you people are brainless , total brainless .
Perfect example of what happens when you have more money than brains.
Repent to Jesus Christ !!
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
Proverbs 19:21 NIV
Yup
Not to mention if anyone told them no, they'd disappear.
Dubai could have gave me a million and made me so happy
They would rather spend billions moving rocks
They also could have paid for you to study English, a much more modest investment but invaluable for you.

Is no one ganna talk about why the title says $14 million
I was just about to comment this
£14.billion silly
I have been amazed and completely into the palm island since its beginning. It just blows my mind that something like that can actually be built at sea. Constantly watch videos dreaming of one day visiting such an amazing project
I watched a documentary on it and found it fascinating. But the old biblical story kept coming to my mind that the wise man built his house on solid ground and the foolish man built his house on the sand and the house on the rock stood firm yet the house on the sand fell flat. Lifes all about building on good form foundations Put your faith in God not man where your beable to store up your treasures in heaven that wont rust or decay like thay do on the earth 🙏
It's a humid country they should plant more trees for greenery effect that would look so appealing.
Or change from oil to solar energy? Dubai wants to appear futuristic don't they?
The richest is a big inspiration to a lot of people man he personally inspired me to start my own UA-cam and I wanna thank him 🙏

Save them 12 billion not 13 bcoz u took 1 billion to advice them bro

I sort of knew from the inception that the World Islands Project would fail, why? The main reason was because Dubai was building too many costly projects at the same time. Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirha, World's biggest Mall, the rail network, Ferrari Amusement park, Dubai International Airport and the likes. Already too many people had invested in these other projects, so injecting money into the world islands was going to be a financially depleting project, which Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum knew but because he already took successful risks, he thought that the world islands project too would be successful.
There are so many things happening in Dubai that not every tourist can afford to do in one visit. Dubai is not competing with any city in world in terms of development and growth. To ensure longevity, they need to tone it down a bit, relax, finish the projects they are doing and market them, reduce their cost of living, for both locals and tourists and it will flourish.
Better yet, stop the dick measuring contest and fix their social issues. Homosexuality is still illegal there, slavery is legal, women can be imprisoned for being raped. Fuck Dubai.
Nice one
Instead of building homes on them, see if they can grow plants to stave erosion. Then build a utility bridge that runs the parameter, that would double as an outline, defining continents, not necessarily fully around but sections. Then Build the buildings on stilts like the canals of europe, other buildings like floating villages of asia. Then some buildings on isolated islands.
God. What a bad story for a forgettable $13 billion dollar waste.
@TXG: T a c c o ikr haha
It's not a waste, just wait few more years
@@newyorkcity5851 ye until the sea levels rise even further lmao
Failure is the mother of success so even if they fail they'll definitely gonna learn a lot's of things for a price of 13 billion 😏
Not really a waste. That money was never going to go to feed poor people or replant rainforests
Wow... This is dope... Even in failure...
Very awesome structure building

Wow this place is amazing
In the title he has written 14 million instead of 14 billion
Wonderfull life:)
you can say that again
Can't wait to visit, i'ma have a great time.
WOW WONDERFUL ❤️
Would have been nice to hear something like they spent a billion dollars to build a few schools couple of nice colleges.
I strongly believe no doubt in my mind that all those 300 islands will fully fill up , just take time
Cool! Under water acrylic bedroom. I hope they thought to put mirrors on the ceiling.
Those are really cool.
THANK YOU BRO ❤
When realtors scream "there not making anymore land" Dubai..HOLD MY CRYSTAL....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dislikes must be from pissed investors who already purchased their island.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am do glad to hear the Heart of Europe is thriving!
Koh Rong is also great island to visit!
Stunning visionary.
Dubai is so beautiful I must go there, plus the projects i think might work.
Let make sky diver holes for when u jump u will be supported by a cushion of air like at nasa and guide u to ur destination
It is only beautiful from very specific viewpoints.
Most of it is horrible ( unless you like malls. If your favourite place is the mall then you will love it )
So glad the world is “perfect” and there is now billions to spend on audacious things..... oh wait 🙄
*I cant have it so no one should*
What they spend for war this is like 100 dollars that's the real problem and yearly to make it worse atleast this was a one time thing
This is Dubai. Their country has so much wealth that this isn’t an issue there. What would you have Dubai do with the money, just give it away to other countries? That’s never going to happen.
@@CM-ky5go I never even talked about anything ur talkin about ur adding words on things I never said all I said that the guy was trippin on a investment made by Dubai ppl while in america they spend alot of money of bs that dont bring in revenue the ppl who work r the ones creating jobs and opportunities in america while ppl in the office just bullshitting daily and yearly atleast in Dubai they spend money on good things

Or or you can fill them with trees and help against climate change
Genial 🌅🙌
Love Dubai ❤
They’re not failure projects, its just we got so many projects and we’re prioritizing these projects. Expo is the 1 being most prioritized then creek.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Assets that can make one successful in life
1. Crypto
2. Stocks
3. Shores
You are right, to be a successful person in life it requires him or her of hard work and brave heart determined to take the risk involved
You are right
But I don't know why people remain poor due to ignorance
Interesting

The video suggests that because there was already the well established and thriving Palm Island, the developers should have considered this need filled. First, Dubai is certainly a land for excess. Also, they could have looked at Palm Island as “proof of concept”. Regardless, I hope they took sea level rise into consideration.
I doubt they considered global warming in any of those places.
Everyone Gangsta till a hurricane comes through and makes the sea level rises and takes everything with it

Thanks for thinking about the poor and homeless as well as those needing to be liberated by oppressors.

Nope never will I ever sleep under water.. just think of a shark watching you while u sleep

Whatever it's from the sea will return to the Sea
One day this all will be gone by natural disasters mark my words....so be simple🙏
The main reason is that people don't want to travel to Dubai to be trapped offshore and having to travel by boat to get everything or go for dinner. Dubai has amazing restaurants and nightlife and that is the entire point of visiting. The new islands like Palm sold fine as they are connected by a road.
Would love to live there
Until there's electricity, I don't see that place becoming "Lit" 😁😁😁
Come to think of it is there sewage laid down either?
Random fact
More people die from falling coconuts than from shark attacks

only rich guy can afford
2 go in this place
those places r so amazing & beautifully nice
maybe someday ill go there
only in my dreams ha ha ha
so beautiful places
What they should do with those islands is keep them from a road and build structures on them kind of like Venice they could call it the Venice of Dubai!
CRYPTO keeps going up and down everyday but all I can say is that, this is still the best time to invest better in it because in few weeks time Bitcoin will be so f**king hot🔥🔥🔥
Most wise investors with crypto uses the opportunity of when there is a drop in the market to buy and trade with
A working strategy and a plan to navigate the system, using the low price in the market to trade daily
Speculating the increase in price, get a working plan today for that profit making.
Fact is(btc)is the future of CRYPTO, and the questions traders ask themselves now is if this is the right time to invest? Before jumping into conclusions I think you should take a good look at things first, foe the past few days the price of Bitcoin has Been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable.
